Publication number: 20220382996Abstract: A computer-implemented method of responding to a conversational event is presented. The method comprises receiving a conversational event at a conversational computing interface. Based on the received conversational event, an applicable generation rule of a plurality of candidate generation rules is selected. The applicable generation rule is configured with one or more parameters. A computer-executable plan is then selected based on the selected generation rule. The one or more parameters are passed from the selected generation rule to one or more additional generation rules. The one or more additional generation rules configured with the one or more parameters are recursively applied to extend the selected computer-executable plan. One or more candidate responses to the conversational event are output via the conversational computing interface based on the recursive application of the one or more additional generation rules configured with the one or more parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jacob Daniel ANDREAS, Jayant Sivarama KRISHNAMURTHY, Alan Xinyu GUO, Andrei VOROBEV, John Philip BUFE, III, Jesse Daniel Eskes RUSAK, Yuchen ZHANG

Patent number: 11410643Abstract: A computer-implemented method of responding to a conversational event. The method comprises enacting, by a conversational computing interface, an initial computer-executable plan based on a conversational event received by the conversational computing interface, wherein the initial computer-executable plan is configured to output an initial value based on the conversational event. The method further comprises selecting, by the conversational computing interface, an extended computer-executable plan based on determining that the initial value is insufficient for generating an extended description responsive to the conversational event. The method further comprises enacting, by the conversational computing interface, the extended computer-executable plan to output additional information beyond what the initial computer-executable plan is configured to output, the additional information sufficient for generating the extended description responsive to the conversational event.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jacob Daniel Andreas, Jayant Sivarama Krishnamurthy, Alan Xinyu Guo, Andrei Vorobev, John Philip Bufe, III, Jesse Daniel Eskes Rusak, Yuchen Zhang

Patent number: 9098292Abstract: A device receives a model that includes blocks and lines provided between the blocks, and identifies first candidate boundaries for the model. Each of the first candidate boundaries defines a group of blocks. The device generates an intermediate representation (IR) of the model, performs an optimization of the IR to generate an optimized IR, and identifies second candidate boundaries for the model based on the optimized IR. Each of the second candidate boundaries defines a group of blocks, and the first and second candidate boundaries define a set of candidate boundaries. The device reduces the set of candidate boundaries, to a reduced set of boundaries, based on code efficiency metrics or metrics associated with a hardware platform. The device generates code for the model based on the reduced set of boundaries, and outputs the code.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Yuchen Zhang, Beth Cockerham, Xiaocang Lin, Partha Biswas
